It was great to see city centre racing return to the streets of Dublin tonight. Even better to see Garmins Dan Martin and the An Post team ride away from the field of seasoned British pros and Irish national and provincial teams. Martin dominated the race over a partly cobbled course, lapping most of the field, while the An post boys rode what was effectively a team time trial, with four of their five riders leaving the rest behind and chasing Martin all the way to the line.
Due to the unfathomable rules of the Tour Series the An Post team were the overall winners, while Martin wasn't declared race winner but did scoop the Sprints award. No, I don't get it either!
Here's some pics:
what a pro he is on the lower ring
